Hi @apc. The swap should be very easy. You will need a 8mm Allen key to undo the bolt on the drive side. It's a self extracting system therefore the crank will come off on its own without the need of a crank puller. Once that's off you pull out the spindle and non-drive side crank arm. Lightly grease the new spindle on your compact crankset and reinstall all the washers and parts the way they came off the bike. Tighten to a recommended torque.
Last but not least you might need to lower and readjust the front derailleur to accommodate for a smaller chainring on the front.
Cheers.
